Chapter 652: Chapter 645: Officially Wanted

Bai Yiran didn’t exchange pleasantries with Gao Sheng; at this moment, she truly had no interest in engaging in such superficial actions.

Seeing Bai Yiran not interacting with him, Gao Sheng didn’t feel awkward either; he smiled and invited Bai Yiran and Leng Yichen to sit down.

Leng Yichen didn’t waste time with small talk. He directly handed the photo to Gao Sheng and repeated everything Bai Yiran said on the plane to Gao Sheng.

After listening, Gao Sheng immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. The external contact they had been tirelessly trying to find for Wu Chengzu might be Yao Zhiqing in the photo!

All this time, Gao Sheng had been expending efforts trying to locate this external contact woman. Wu Chengzu’s mouth was tightly sealed, offering no valuable information at all.

Just when they were racking their brains with no breakthrough, Bai Yiran discovered such crucial information.

If Leng Yichen weren’t there, Gao Sheng might have excitedly jumped up to give Bai Yiran an enthusiastic kiss.

Seeing Gao Sheng’s expression so excited, Bai Yiran felt incredibly ironic. Until this moment, she still held onto a naive hope that Yao Zhiqing simply knew Wu Chengzu and wasn’t involved in his evil drug trafficking activities.

However, it didn’t take long before news from Gao Sheng shattered Bai Yiran’s last bit of hope.

The police went to Wu Chengzu’s house first. They had searched his house before but found nothing substantial. Yet this time, the photo provided by Bai Yiran gave the police direction, and they found all of Wu Chengzu’s photo albums in the study room. Ultimately, they discovered the photo of him with a young Yao Zhiqing.

They indeed had known each other long before, even earlier than their time in E Country!

The police searched Yao Zhiqing’s home and company one after another, but couldn’t find her. Her in-laws said she hadn’t returned home in a long time and wasn’t answering calls, and they were even preparing to report her missing when the police came knocking first. The company also stated that Yao Zhiqing hadn’t appeared at the company in ages, leaving many affairs waiting for her to handle; the company was now in a semi-paralyzed state. After inspecting the company’s accounts, they found several huge, inexplicable deposits—the police suspected them to be dirty money. Additionally, before disappearing, Yao Zhiqing transferred all the moveable funds on the company accounts, totaling nearly a hundred million.

Gao Sheng muttered inwardly that things were bad; it was evident Yao Zhiqing had fled with the funds, likely aware of the situation when Wu Chengzu turned himself in, and now who knows where she’s hiding!

Gao Sheng scratched his head angrily; the case finally had some clarity, only for Yao Zhiqing to escape at the final moment.

At this point, they basically confirmed Yao Zhiqing’s identity. The police immediately issued a nationwide manhunt for Yao Zhiqing as the prime suspect, and her photos flooded the streets and alleys.

That day, Gao Sheng once again interrogated Wu Chengzu, placing all the photographic evidence before him, "There’s no need for you to stay silent any longer; we’ve already found the evidence of your external contact!"

Wu Chengzu lowered his head to look at those photos, "Officer, are you joking? It’s just a photo. It can only prove I know her, nothing more."

Gao Sheng lit a cigarette in Wu Chengzu’s expectant gaze, "Don’t try to argue; we’ve already checked Yao Zhiqing’s company and home and found that both places have over a hundred phone cards stored. I guess those phone cards were for your contact, right? Furthermore, her company accounts have several inexplicable funds—once we trace them, we’ll definitely find out where the money came from. The most crucial point is Yao Zhiqing’s escape with the funds; isn’t that the most substantial evidence?"

Wu Chengzu stared at Gao Sheng and stopped speaking, then started laughing loudly, the laughter and expression seeming somewhat deranged.

Gao Sheng’s face darkened, quietly watching Wu Chengzu’s madness. He raised a hand, gesturing the prison guards to take Wu Chengzu away.

Not long after, news broke from the detention center that Wu Chengzu had attempted suicide and was gravely injured.
